Oh God, you poor thing!!!!

Well, if you wait and THEN go to the ER, they might tell you, "no, we can't put a stitch in". That happened to a friend of my son's when they both went through the glass window when they were 14 years old.

Louis had come into my house, dripping blood all over the living room floor and told me "Frank is around the corner, there are ambulances and police cars, the glass cut his eye". So of course, I dropped the frozen peas I had in my hand (odd how you remember these things), I ran around the corner and it was as if time stopped dead in its tracks. 6 police cars, two ambulances, my son sitting in a chair in the middle of the sidewalk and some man holding my son's eye in his socket. It was absolutely surreal. Louis had sustained cuts between his fingers. I told him to hop in the ambulance with us but he said "no, just go".

So after Frank got 75 stitches over his eye, and we all went crazy that night, the next day I ran into Louis and said 'what happened with your hand?" and he said "Oh, I went to my doctor but he said "unless you come right in when the injury happens, we can't put stitches in it". Something about scar tissue forming where the cut is.

Now this was 12 years ago, so I have no idea if science and technology have advanced to the point where they can put a stitch in a wound that has closed up already.

Just make sure you disinfected it. And get your feet out of that kitchen.

I don't have anything made of glass in my home whatsoever. I have arthritic hands and a frozen shoulder so I can't lift anything heavy and I once dropped a glass vase. That was it for me.

Everything is made of plastic or rubber, or whatever the new materials are today. There is nothing ceramic, glass or breakable. I only buy 4c Cranberry and Pomegranate drink mix (with splenda). I take out my big plastic drink thinggee. I put in the water, open up a packet of the drink mix. Mix it up. And Alan puts it in the fridge. I don't buy any cleaning products if they are in glass (such as Pine Sol). I only buy stuff in plastic.

I've learned to let Alan mix up stuff in the bowls if it's too much for my arms or hands. Only when it's 100 degrees outside and there's no humidity, well I could run a marathon, but then, when it is 100 degrees outside with no humidity???

All of my glassware is tall plastic stuff. If I go out to dinner, I won't even pick up a glass. I don't want to drop it and have glass going all over the place. Now I'm not talking about a glass of wine. THAT I WILL PICK UP.
But only on my birthday. lol

P.S. Oh, I forgot, there is one thing made of glass in my house, but no one can bump into it. It's a giant vase in the middle of my big dining room table. It's filled with those big Bamboo plants and magenta colored flowers. I designed it myself. I put it together myself also. Alan hates it because he thinks everyflower will bring a bug. I made him carry it into the computer room so I could take a picture of it.
So here's a picture of it, and I hope it makes you smile to see something pretty. Take your mind off of your feet for a second.
